Thank you.

Anyone know of any other colleges doing something like this? I'm trying to find somewhere I can take organic chemistry.

FYI - As of Monday of this week, ASU extended their $99/course program. Now you just have to sign up by 8/25 for summer or Fall A (aug-oct) classes. You must pay by end of the year or the rate goes back up to $400. Fall B (oct-dec) courses are not currently included. Self paced courses must be done before end of the year too. They’re charging $400 and then refunding $301 to make self paced $99 too. Weird but it’s how they said they’re doing it.
I noticed they added a few new options since I looked a few weeks ago.

That's awesome! I was rushing to get the math done by then but it's not easy or good to rush through math.
I checked the EA page and I don't see anything about needing to pay by the end of the year. All I've found is the extension:
Quote:*This price has been reduced until August 25, 2020, 11:59 p.m. MST, as part of the ASU's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I would certainly hope that the courses starting on August 18th don't have to pay $400. But it doesn't actually say that, that I can see.
I also checked my email, just in case, and see that I got an email from them yesterday saying that I haven't enrolled in courses. I'm enrolled in multiple courses, what are you talking about, ASU?

The website hasn’t been updated last I checked, but several of us have called their help line and this is what they told us. Hopefully it’ll get updated soon.

Do you know if it works for the 15 week courses that start in August (through December)?
The programming course is looking very tempting...

yeah,
from the Course Brief
Quote:The first half of this course uses the approachable Python programming language to teach fundamental
programming principles, then switches to the Java language to develop skills in one of the most popular
programming languages in the world. Programming projects are based on real-world problems ...

I hope the info you received was correct, but I fear it may not be. The programming course has a TBD for the price. I talked to Natalie at ASU again today and she said anything with a TBD is under discussion for pricing. She hoped to have more solid information by Friday, since there are two meetings discussing the program and pricing this week. We may see a pricing change on those soon.
Things have been changing rapidly (usually to our benefit) with these courses and everyone from the help desk is working from home due to Covid, so communication to everyone has been a bit sketchy lately, resulting in some miscommunications. I posted about the $99 extension in several Facebook groups last week and have been putting out fires from miscommunications from the help desk ever since. ??♀️ I’m gonna have to start billing them for my time.
Anyway, I suggest calling back later in the week or early next week, if the website hasn’t updated the cost. And know there’s a decent chance it could be more than $99, and a possibility it could be less than $400. Also, she asked me to convey to people to call the EA help desk, linked on the EA Contact Us page, not the main ASU line. The EA folks are the ones to ask.
And an update to my previous post. The self paced ENG101 course ends 8/31, not in December like the self paced maths. I do not know if they’ll offer a Fall self-paced option or not, but there is a teacher-led one starting 8/18.
